Searching for a trusted swimming pool renovation company in Dubai? HSS7 Landscaping has renovated 100+ residential pools across Dubai over the past 10+ years, from cosmetic pool resurfacing and retiling to full structural restoration, waterproofing, and filtration system upgrades. Dubai’s intense UV exposure, hard water, and year-round heat wear down even well-built pools: cracked coping, faded plaster, leaking shells, and outdated pumps are common after 7–10 years of use. As a DM and Trakhees-approved contractor, we deliver durable, code-compliant pool restoration for villas across Dubai.
Swimming pool renovation is the process of restoring, upgrading, or structurally repairing an existing pool as opposed to demolishing and rebuilding it from scratch. It typically covers resurfacing or replastering, tile and coping replacement, leak detection and waterproofing, filtration and pump upgrades, and aesthetic changes like LED lighting or converting a standard pool into an infinity edge design. Renovation is usually worth considering once a pool starts showing its age, or sooner if there’s visible cracking, constant water loss, or persistent algae despite regular maintenance.
Renovating a pool in Dubai isn’t just about new tiles; it requires materials and engineering built for 50°C summers and high-mineral water. A few things we pay close attention to on every project:
We replace faded, chipped, or algae-stained surfaces using epoxy pool paint, glass mosaic tiling, natural stone, or pebble finish, fixed with waterproof adhesives and chlorine-resistant grout.
Using non-invasive acoustic leak tracing, we locate hidden cracks in the pool shell and underground plumbing before work begins, then carry out waterproofing and concrete repair to fix the root cause. Our approach follows Dubai Municipality’s private swimming pool safety guidelines for structural and safety compliance.
We replace outdated sand filters and single-speed pumps with variable-speed pumps and smart automation systems that adjust to ambient temperature—improving water quality and lowering energy bills. Once your pool is renovated, our pool maintenance service can keep it running efficiently year-round.
From natural stone coping and pool deck remodeling to LED pool lighting, custom water features, and converting an existing pool into an infinity edge or overflow design—often as part of a broader villa landscaping upgrade.
Our team has completed pool renovation projects across these Dubai communities. In Palm Jumeirah, we specialize in waterfront villas with saltwater-exposure finishes and coping. For Arabian Ranches, we handle Emaar community NOCs across AR1, AR2, and AR3. In Dubai Marina, we conduct rooftop and podium pool structural assessments. Emirates Hills projects feature large custom pools and overflow-edge renovations, while Dubai Hills Estate focuses on contemporary finishes matching newer villa architecture. In JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle), we handle compact plunge pool renovations. DAMAC Hills features full structural and cosmetic renovation projects, Jumeirah Islands includes waterfront and lake-facing pool remodels, and MBR City highlights luxury villa pool restorations.
If you’re elsewhere in Dubai, get in touch; we cover most residential communities. You can browse examples of completed work in our project portfolio.
This is the same process we follow for new pool design and construction, adapted for renovation work.
Cost depends on pool size, current condition, and the scope of work. A cosmetic renovation involving resurfacing, retiling, or replacing coping costs significantly less than a full structural renovation that requires re-plumbing, waterproofing, and equipment replacement. As a general guide, a full renovation typically runs 30 to 60 percent of the cost of building an equivalent new pool. In terms of timelines, a cosmetic update can take as little as a week, whereas a full structural overhaul involving leak repair and re-plumbing typically takes 4 to 10 weeks. We provide an exact figure and timeline only after conducting a free site inspection, ensuring complete accuracy.
| Cosmetic Renovation | Structural Renovation | |
|---|---|---|
| Includes | Resurfacing, retiling, coping, lighting | Leak repair, re-plumbing, waterproofing, shell repair, equipment upgrade |
| Typical timeline | 1–2 weeks | 4–10 weeks |
| Usual trigger | Faded or worn surfaces, outdated look | Water loss, cracks, persistent leaks, failing equipment |
| Permit needed | Usually not required | Often requires DM/Trakhees approval |
If you’re not sure which category your pool falls into, that’s exactly what the free inspection is for.
Not every contractor in Dubai holds a trade license specific to pool construction, and not all manage DM/Trakhees approvals in-house. Before you sign with anyone, it’s worth asking:
These are fair questions to ask us too; you can see how we work in our renovation process and hear directly from past clients in our testimonials.
If you notice constant water loss, cracked coping, or water that will not stay clear despite regular maintenance, these usually point to structural or surface wear rather than something a quick fix will solve. A professional inspection is the only reliable way to tell, and we do this free of charge.
Yes, workmanship and materials are covered under warranty terms that are specified in writing as part of your quote, so you know exactly what is covered before work begins.
If our team finds additional structural issues once the pool is drained, which does happen on older pools, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding, providing a clear cost and timeline impact rather than continuing and adding it to the bill afterward.
Yes. Renovation work is contained to the pool and immediate deck area. For structural work involving equipment room access or re-plumbing, we will walk you through what to expect during the site visit.
In most cases, yes. Renovating an existing shell, when it is structurally sound, costs meaningfully less than excavating and building a new pool, while still giving you a modern finish and updated equipment.
If your pool is running on an old single-speed pump or outdated filtration, upgrading to variable-speed pumps and automation as part of the renovation can noticeably cut energy use.
If your pool is showing its age, the first step is a free site inspection. We will tell you honestly whether it needs a cosmetic refresh or a full structural renovation and give you a written, fixed-price quote either way.
